The ESPN simulation, with reporters representing teams and Willis, saw the quarterback reject two-year offers from Arizona ($33M) and New York ($40M). Vikings' offer gave Willis security and the best chance to showcase talent under head coach Kevin O'Connell and with receiver Justin Jefferson. Actual negotiations begin Monday, with six teams reportedly interested in Willis.
While the mock scenario had merit, some analysts believe Willis could command more than $20M given multiple teams have QB concerns heading into free agency.
